 my new Rittenberry arrived 10-11-2010! It blowed my mind... what a beautiful looking, great sounding piece of steel guitar! I tell ya, the right steel and the right owner! I'm a happy camper to the bones! Gary Rittenberry made a steel that can't be from this world!
here some pics:
....and the trues is.... that Rittenberry sounds even better then it looks.... it is something real special and I'm the proud owner of it! |

Andy, that front is absolutely stunning!! I know it sounds as good as it looks. Wished I could have given it a test drive before it left the U.S.
Enjoy it !!!

I have to say sorry Bill, to use your idea of the front of my Rittenberry... I felt in love when I saw it the first time! And I still love the lock! To bad I can't see the front when I'm playing!!!!
next to that I really love the sound, esp the highs on that steel.... like a cristal clear bell, chimes are sooooooooooo diffrent to play on that guitar, because it is mutch clearer and the sustain is forever...
I strongly recomment the Rittenberry for every "soundnuts" here! |
